![]() I was very surprised to find Laurie was in Auckland, I thought the few of us here at my work were the only Paradox programmers left in the country !!! Like many others listed here, somewhat paradoxically, I trained in something else before finding Paradox. In my case it was science, I completed a Ph.D. in parasitology. I discovered I enjoyed the data analysis side using SAS and that there was not a lot of demand for my parasitological knowledge. There was some demand in the late 1980s for Paradox programming, so I taught myself using version 3.5, and can still remember the thrill I had when I successfully wrote my first procedure !! I spent a year in Japan as a scientist, and on return, assumed a contract writing and maintaining the information collected on notifiable diseases in New Zealand for the equivalent of the US CDC. This was written in version 4, and was distributed in every main city in NZ. I also wrote and maintained a system tracking and supplying data about trade trainees. My current workplace in Wellington uses Paradox in several systems. In particular the one I look after uses pdox 7 to report on sales of foodstuffs of about USD 4 bn per year, and is located in offices worldwide. That system is being replaced by a web based Oracle solution. I have also helped to build a company that makes visualisation software for massive data sets. Check out www.compudigm.com. We seem to be a musical lot. I play the guitar. I also play bass guitar, write songs and sing in light opera. In particular at the moment (6/01) we are in rehearsal for H.M.S. Pinafore. My fiancee Gina http://gina.sanders.tripod.com/ is an opera singer/vocal teacher, and will be the cause of my moving to Auckland one day !! So thanks to all who have provided answers to my questions over the years in the various pdox newsgroups, and to those who maintain this place, it's great to have a community page like this.
